Adrian and Dirk, do you remember what exactly the problems were we were facing?
we were unsure if we should build only the toolchain with that triplet or also set the default rpm target to -gnueabi. What exactly should be the toolchain triplet? arm-suse-linux-gnueabihf ? armv7-suse-linux-gnueabihf?
The default rpm target we chose to leave at -suse-linux, as there is some weird triplet processing code in rpm that only checks for "-gnu" and nothing else, so we were quite sure that -gnueabi would already break / change the behavior. Thats why we have this inconsistency of building the toolchain with -gnueabi, but setting the default triplet to suse-linux (without any extension).
Hmmm. To me, that sounds like a bug in RPM then. But admittedly my background is Debian and I'm not an expert in RPM things. My suggestion would be to talk to the Fedora/RH folks and see what they're doing here. Consistency is good. :-) Jon Masters is one of the lead guys working on ARM there, and is probably a good person to ask, either directly or (even better) on the cross-distro@lists.linaro.org mailing list we've got set up for exactly this kind of discussion. </plug> Cheers, -- Steve McIntyre steve.mcintyre@linaro.org http://www.linaro.org/ Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
